Cool man! Dad had an old Garret back in the day. I crashed my freestyle drone at a playground set. Smashed the camera ...not expensive but ejected the micro SD card. That hurt. Searched a long time but being black hides it well. Didn't find it. So remembering this video I ordered from Amazon and picked up an inexpensive child's metal detector threw a fresh 9v in it and dropped a micro SD card on the floor to practice out how it worked. It was a very faint and fast blip. In minutes my attention wandered and I was scanning flooring nails, electrical wires and such and thought it fascinating.

Bottle hunting, gold panning, and metal detecting. Dave sounds like he's occupying his mind well.

[@skybarnum9859]

I have been detecting for over 25 years. In that time I have used nearly every brand of detector except minelab. All have their points and detractors. It has been over ten years since I have touched a bounty hunter and the electronics have likely improved vastly since then. However I will never hold another as the few I tried were so bad that it soured me on the brand.

I see almost on a daily bases a gentleman who comes down to our local beach at first light and combs it with his detector and he usually has a good haul after a nice weekend of tourism. Rings, sunglasses, bracelets, coins you name it and he has probably found it. It definitely is a good hobby even if he doesn't find treasure he says the hunt itself is worth it .

Cheap hobby- Magnet Fishing! It’s so much fun tossing the magnet out there into the water ways and pulling up stuff. Fishing lures, old firearms, tools, and other neat things! Give it a shot sometime!

The one thumbs-down on this video might be the person that lost that penny you found.

Hey Dave! Glad to see u doing one of my favorite hobbies. I 've been relic hunting for 25+ years. Over the years I have dug coins that date back to 1840's, civil war buttons, Minnie balls, and 3 civil war buckles. U are right. U do not need super expensive machines to find relics. Name of the game is research , research, and research. I always get permission from private landowners to hunt. Always cover my holes and take care of everyone's property. If u do those things, as a relic hunter, u will develop a good reputation with landowners and will be invited by others to come hunt their land. Lots of good relics are out there. History is waiting for u......

Love the video! My 8yr old son and I went metal detecting with our metal detectors. His is a cheap 35.00 youth metal detector I got at toys r us a few years ago for his sister. He actually found a bolt to a rifle. He was thrilled. I don’t care what we find as long as we get something lol.

I fell face first into the rabbit hole. I've spent thousands on detectors over ten years from every maker though I am a Whites dealer and the one thing they all have in common is if you don't do the research then you don't find the prize. I've also spent thousands of hours reading local civil war and colonial history books to find places to hunt. Thank you again for another great video keepem rolling

[@mrRobbins999]

Wouldn’t mind seeing some more metal detecting videos. Another cheap hobby and one that’s gaining popularity here in the UK is magnet fishing canals and rivers.

[@m3sca1]

I was going to detect the ground I dug to make a chilli patch yesterday, then grabbed a sieve instead. It was much quicker to sieve the soil than detect it initially. I found all the nails and 2 coins, and plenty of junk. Then ran my Garret Carrot over the hard ground. Not a process for public land but for around the garden while sheltering in place, it's quicker than detecting. Cheap too 😉

[@outtour2525]

A lot of people don't have hobbies these days, awesome that you are showing people different things to get into, been watching for years Dave! Hope you are doing well!

I have a Tracker a friend bough me while working in Oklahoma. I used to have a Garret 250 many years ago that got stolen. I lamented to my buddy about how I missed metal dectecing so he got me one as a late birthday gift. The Tracker is a bit less than half of what the Garret 250 goes for but both machines are good for their purpose. While poking around a pasture in Oklahoma with the Tracker, the first thing I found a cast metal toy pistol. A little research into it I found it could have been made anywhere from the 1900s to the 1940s. At the start of WWII metal would have gone toward the war effort and toys like that would have ceased production. It is kind of fun to find something odd then research it. Probably got lost by some little kid playing cowboy and Indians.

In all honesty I have been detecting for over 10 years and with those old machines even good ones good targets at depth can sound off as iron. You always want to pay attention to sound. On some detectors your sound is more faint the deeper the target. You may be surprised at what you find that is deep and giving an iron tone. Silver can and will ring like iron if it's deep sometimes. Good luck happy hunting

[@alforsyth5738]

My son and I have been talking about metal detecting, and after watching this video we are hooked. Thank you for the new series, we are really enjoying it.

[@thorzhammer70ky17]

Aluma stands piece is from the stands usually drug into city parks for softball or soccer games.

[@TedLenn0n]

I just bought a Tracker IV so I can find nails. We had our roof done last year, and am still finding rusty nails in the yard. I’ve gone over the yard multiple time with a rolling magnet, but keep finding more. I’m hoping the metal detector will help me find the ones the magnet won’t pick up.

[@glowpipe]

As someone who has been detecting for about 8-9 years now. You are absolutely right about the pinpointer probe. You do not need one. You can get by without. That being said. Whenever i am out detecting and my pinpointer stops working for whatever reason, like the battery ran out, My day detecting is over and i go home. A pinpointer is a game changer, One that i would never be without!

[@wingrovedl]

Dave, Thank You, I am very much into metal detecting. That was a very candid appraisal of the hobby. Your very much correct in saying it can cost a lot of money if you let it. Some machines will do everything except dig the item out of the ground for you.

[@letsdiscussit1]

Hello from Boston. Thx for video. Building my preps and trying to report concerns to all preppers, homesteaders, off gridders. Thx for the hard work you do.
